Once the weapon is no longer best in slot, you are purely left with only aesthetics and as a raider, are less inclined to do the content.

I can concede being wrong on this one though - as this more of a personal preference.
The weapon in UCoB was only better than the one from O4S by one materia meld. Other than that, it was the same stats—you could just put 3 materia in it. Hardly a noticeable difference. That said, the UCoB weapon was made irrelevant with Sigmascape; the UwU one with Alphascape. The weapons are vanity—they do not provide any inherent advantage. They are entirely prestige.

Raiders do love a challenge. Ultimate is always a challenge. And do you honestly think that raiders stopped doing the Ultimate raids after the weapons were no longer relevant? That is objectively false. They are still participating in them even now after Shadowbringers launch. I have a friend who has been in UCoB since clearing the MSQ. The weapons being irrelevant have no impact on raiders doing this content.

I main a red mage, and have BiS possible, both Titania Weapons, Innocence Drops, Tomes and whatever Eden gear we've been able to get thus far.

But your suggestion otherwise would be creditable.
Except you said that you had BiS for Caster/Healer/Tank in your comment. I directly quoted you, my dude. You claimed you had BiS for three roles (not even jobs—roles), yet you clearly do not. But you’re out of stuff to do?
